​Can regular people lead a spiritual life? 



"Yes!" answers The Mother's Calling: Love in the Heart of the World (Paulist Press).

Motherhood is a gifted calling. Mothers share in the creative work of God and the redemptive love of the Lord. Through life-long dedication to their families, they learn the vulnerability of a child, the delicacy of new life and the commitment it takes to mother another person into maturity. This book encourages women to prayerfully reflect on their lives and on scripture, so as to take to heart a spirituality of motherhood. Paying attention to this deeply human experience, God invites mothers to a spiritual awakening of their unique vocation and place in the Church.

 

Mary Higgins Clark praised this new book: "The Mother's Calling nourishes the spirit, the mind and the heart of the reader. A book to be read quietly, chapter by chapter, it is truly a treasure."
